How the rate is built
Each line is a separate legal authority. They stack on the $10,000 customs value unless a carve-out says otherwise.
| Program | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
General rate of duty (Column 1) Official rate: Free 8541.43.00.10 | 0% | $0.00 |
Section 301 China (List Solar-50) | 50% | $5,000.00 |
Section 301 forced labor 9903.05.31 | 12.5% | $1,250.00 |
Effective duty rate | 62.5% | $6,250.00 |
Stack priced from China on a $10,000 customs value, ocean entry. Other origins carry different programs; the calculator prices any of them.
